The Leak that Won't go Away...

Well, when I replaced that broken valve a few weeks ago... I thought I'd finally solved the mystery leak in the pump compartment... one more time I was wrong...

That sucker is still there... So... I now have a new plan... win the lottery and hire a plumber! :o)

Naw... What I'm going to do is first... rework the access to that compartment, so a fella can even get in there to fix anything that needs fixin'.

and second... most likely replace the current pump, and upgrade the connections to it, while I'm in there...

That pump is 9 years old, and been used some lil' bit... so it don't owe me anything... I can juuuuust see, with the poor access... a bit of mineralization, toward the bottom of the pump housing... I think... maybe... there is a seal at that end that may be the culprit...

anyhoo... the plan is to cut in a new access door that will be sized sufficient to allow reasonable access to a fairly important part of the rigs systems, and ease that replacement. 'course... as soon as I do that... I'll probably never need to get in there again... right? :o)

Finally got back in front of last months Visitor count... kind of an obsession of mine... get up in the morning... grind the beans... make the coffee... fire up the laptop... log in to SBI! and see what's happening... So... another record month of Visitors in the making! :o)

The Easter weekend you guys were all spending time with your families I guess, and not visitin' me... :o) so there was a bit of a dip... but now... Spring is Springin', people are gettin' Hitch itch... and urges for the Great American Road Trip!... and folks are knockin' on my door... more than ever before... Sweet!

... and now that Spring is finally comin' alive... all those folks that hide their Motorcycles in the Garage all winter, are gettin' their riding parts warmed up... Lookin' at their Motorcycle gear... thinkin' 'bout what some call, "Riding Season"... which for me is all year 'round... as long as the road ain't reeeeeaaaally icy :o) ... so... my Ribbon of Highway blog, along with the Motorcycle Touring site it's on... is picking up nicely too...

I sure have come to enjoy this 'Website Writing' gig... something I never would have guessed just five years ago... to tell the truth it's pretty awesome... To finally be able to put all the words rattling around in my head to some productive use! :o)

Dang, Is there something wrong with my puter??? I come to get my daily dose of cowboy and he ain't here!!! Hopefully everything is right with you--oh, I bet I know what the problem is--you and Heidi got the seat installed and are riding the curves in the Colorado backcountry and not thinking about us prisoners in cyber space. LOL. Well, my friend, when you come back to earth, post so all of us can enjoy your ride too., Hope you remembered to pack the camera for some shots.
